Police surround a man and point their guns at him at him at the airport because of a bomb threat. Turns out, it was a TSA drill. If you’re gonna do that, you should probably let the local po-po know.

Clearly, we should ban sharp pieces of metal.

I’ll stick with my 10+1 outs.

self reliance is the death knell for ‘progressivism’

I’d like to believe that independent people are not viewed as a threat to progressive ideals. But, as Josh Horowitz indicates, even they don’t pretend that’s the case any more.

Remember that employee who stopped a potentially deadly hostage situation at Wal-Greens? Well, Wal-Greens fired him:

A photograph of four children tucked in a thank-you card from a coworker reminds Jeremy Hoven he did the right thing.

But doing “the right thing” cost the night shift pharmacist his job at the Walgreens drugstore at Napier Avenue and M-139. The national pharmacy chain fired Hoven on Monday, eight days after he fired his handgun to foil an armed robbery and a potentially deadly hostage situation at the store.

“In my mind, I can look at myself in the mirror. I can lay my head down in bed and sleep. In my mind, I did what I had to do,” said the 36-year-old Twin Cities-area resident.

NZ Herald:

An airline has lost the prized unique gun of Australia’s Olympic shooting champion Russell Mark.

In a significant blow to his London Olympic ambitions, Qantas lost Mark’s one-of-a-kind gun between Melbourne and Serbia.

A 30 year old man, who lives life as a giant baby, draws disability checks. Apparently, fucked in the head is a disability. When confronted about his non-disability for which I am paying, he threatened to hold his breath until he turned blue. Hold it longer, Sparky, you’re not done yet.

And he as a website.

The Firearms Owners Protection Act was enacted. And with it, the Hughes Amendment, banning the transfer of new machine guns to citizens.

Heh. I have about 8 of these laying around the house. I need to bring some to the office.

NSSF releases the the results of a survey on AR-15 ownership, with lots of interesting stats. Notably: 30 percent of all MSR owners purchased their first rifle in 2009 or 2010.

An elephant mounted machine gun. Of course, I need an elephant first.

But need has nothing to do with it.

SunTimes:

A Chicago Police officer was struck by a CTA bus while chasing a man who allegedly swore at Mayor Daley as he was leaving City Hall Friday for the last time as mayor.

Swearing at Dick Daley is a crime? I thought it was a hobby.

They copy the MAIG form letter for ATF comments? Which consists of advocating breaking the law.

Coalition to Stop Gun Violence gets twitter account suspended for disclosing other people’s personal information.

Rusty, the narcoleptic dachshund. I guess if I got to pick a disorder, it’d be narcolepsy.

Nancy: I know to roll my eyes when my coworker tells me that if the caliber doesn’t start with a “.4”, it’s not worth carrying.

Looks like Sierra Nevada may be opening up shop in my fair county.

That’s how many times Jose Guerena was shot by police. His wife claims the police did not identify themselves. And didn’t administer medical care. Indeed, something isn’t right when they’re just hauling-off and killing us.

Update: Source. Seems it’s a whole series by Greg Peltz. Nice.

Hmm:

CBS News has learned that virtually all the top ATF managers in Phoenix involved in the controversial “Fast and Furious” operation have been reassigned and replaced. The shake-up comes in the wake of the gunwalking scandal in which ATF allegedly allowed more than 2500 weapons to hit the streets or “walk.”

Last night, my son graduated pre-school. Starts kindergarten soon. I’m not all weepy yet since his last day of school is next week. But I’ll miss that place.

And, this morning, I dropped Junior off for her last day of first grade. She didn’t seem to care about it too much. But I did.

When this happens, I sit back and wonder where the years went. And someone reminded me on Facebook that They may have went, but they were full.

Indeed.

News Channel 5 notices that drug stops are a revenue measure:

Glad to see the press reporting on stuff like this.

A look at the Department of Homeland Security seizing domain names and charging people with linking to copyrighted material. Five years for linking something.

It’s a good thing they’ve rid the world of terrorism and can now focus on such trivial things.
